AND INSURANCE ON THE BILL TO ABOLISH IT.
Senators Gardner, Livingston and Rue,
the Committee on Banks and Insurance,
sat in the Senate Chamber yesterday
morning, and heard arguments for and
against the Assembly bin which prohibits
the establishment of relief or insurance
departments by corporations.
Rev. Joseph Brockbank, local preach
or as well as mechanic, and the Venera-
BILE Sage OF the knights of Labor of Cam
den, first spoke In favor OF the bill. He
spoke as former employe Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and gave his expert
ence of the system with that Company.
He declared that 1t deprived the men Of
their liberty. Those who were brought
before the committee today to testify 10
favor Of the relief plan were afraid that
the crust OF bread on which they were de-
pendent would be taken from them II they
did otherwise. The company, he de-
clared, had disregarded the sentiments Of
nineteen.twentieths of the employees and
were keeping them In their employ out Of
| fear. Many of the men we're selling their
liberty for q crust of bread. The speaker
closed In graphic manner with the words
Of Patrick Henry, "Giye me liberty or
| give me DEATH
Mr.. Flynn, q former employc, then read
a paper, which he said would show why
there were not hundreds OF railroad en-
pioyes there instead of two. The paper
stated that the employees were afraid to
